Ormond Beach, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Ormond Beach, FL is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile items. Car carriers are not responsible for personal property.

Clean your car: Wash your vehicle inside and out. This helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Make sure the battery is charged and connections are tight.

Remove accessories: Take off bike racks, spoilers, or any loose exterior parts that could be damaged during transport.

Have keys ready: Provide one set of working keys to the driver. Keep a spare for yourself.

Document condition: Take photos of your car from all angles before pickup.

• $1,000,000 in liability insurance
• $100,000 in cargo insurance

Before your Ormond Beach shipment begins, we verify that your carrier’s insurance is active and valid. We also require all carriers to add Sherpa as a Certificate Holder on their policy for extra protection.

Pro tip: Keep photos of your vehicle before pickup and review the Bill of Lading carefully with your driver in Ormond Beach.

We recommend booking your car shipment from Ormond Beach at least 2-3 weeks in advance for the best rates and availability. However, the ideal timing depends on your specific needs:

Standard shipping: 2-3 weeks gives carriers time to find other vehicles going the same route, which helps lower your costs.

Peak seasons: During busy times like summer and winter holidays, book 3-4 weeks ahead. Many people move during these periods, so carriers fill up faster.

Rush shipping: Need your car sooner? We offer expedited service with as little as 3-5 days notice, though this costs more.

The key is flexibility. The more time you give us, the better we can match you with carriers serving the Ormond Beach area. This means better prices and smoother pickup scheduling for your vehicle transport.

No payment is due at the time of booking. We do require a payment method on file so that it is available to charge once a carrier is secured. We accept all major debit and credit cards, including Mastercard, Visa, Discover and American Express. The most convenient option is to pay for your shipment in full by credit card at the time a carrier is secured.

We also allow you to pay for your Initial Payment via credit or debit card and then pay the outstanding balance on delivery day via cash or a certified check made out to the carrier.

Your Sherpa shipment includes up to 100 lbs of personal items or household goods stored in the trunk area or secured below the window line. If you are shipping to or from a port or your shipment includes ocean transit, your vehicle must be emptied of all items. Sherpa and your assigned carrier cannot be responsible for personal items left inside the vehicle. See our Vehicle Shipping Tips for more details.

Yes. It is important that you, or another adult that you trust, is there for pickup and delivery of your vehicle. This designated person plays an important role in the shipping process including documenting the state of the vehicle and signing the Bill of Lading, which acts as a receipt of the vehicle’s condition.

Open transport is the most common and budget-friendly option. Your car rides on an open trailer alongside other vehicles, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe and reliable for most cars.

Enclosed transport protects your vehicle inside a covered trailer. It costs 40-60% more than open transport but shields your car from weather, dust, and debris. This option is ideal for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

For most Ormond Beach residents shipping everyday vehicles, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed if your car is worth over $50,000 or has special value to you. See our complete open vs enclosed guide for more details.

If your specific address isn’t accessible for our carriers, don’t worry.

Many Auto Transport companies try to tease customers with lower rates, only to surprise you with “hidden costs” later. At Sherpa Auto Transport, we do things differently. We provide one locked-in price upfront and stick to it. If unexpected costs arise, we pay them out of our own pocket.

While we may not always be the cheapest option at first glance, our commitment to transparency and reliability offers exceptional value. As a premium service, we ensure an stress-free experience from start to finish.

We transport sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans and motorcycles across the nation, including service to Alaska and Hawaii. At this time, we do not service boats, golf carts, ATVs, or RVs. We can ship both operable and inoperable vehicles so long as the vehicle can roll, brake, and steer, and that you can provide the carrier with a key to the vehicle. We can also ship electric vehicles.
